Commercial Lawyers in Slovenia

We understand that as a business operating in today’s increasingly regulated markets, you need to manage your commercial risks while achieving your business objectives. Your business success is built upon the effectiveness and robustness of your relationship with third parties, whether they are your customers, suppliers or intermediaries. Commercial contracts (gospodarske in obligacijskopravne pogodbe) safeguard those relationships and serve the interests of all involved parties if attuned to the sectors and markets you operate in.

We are here to make commercial contracts bulletproof so that they best serve your business 

A team of experienced commercial lawyers (pravni strokovnjaki za gospodarsko in obligacijskopravno pogodbeno pravo) will support you whether you require advice on supply arrangements, services agreements, technology or telecommunications contracts, IP licensing, manufacturing agreements, consumer arrangements, software licensing, outsourcing or any other bespoke commercial arrangement. We are here to guide you towards the best business outcome.

Commercial contracts made for any type of business

We organise our teams around sectors and industries relevant to you, including financial services, manufacturing, automotive, consumer products, energy, hotels and leisure, infrastructure and projects, life sciences, supply and logistics, real estate and construction, technology, telecoms, media and sports. 
So, it doesn't matter which sector or industry you operate in and whether you are an international player or perform best in the local market, we will ensure that commercial legal know-how relevant to your business case is deployed to safeguard your business interests. 

Well-prepared commercial contracts are a building block of successful business relationship 

Our commercial lawyers benefit from the support of colleague experts in complementary legal areas. Tax lawyers will ensure that contracts are tax-effective and that any liability is properly allocated between the parties. Competition law specialists are here to enable contracts to exploit rights or distribute products as effectively as possible within the constraints of an ever-changing legal and regulatory framework.

So, it is not just about indemnification (odškodninske klavzule), termination and insurance (klavzule prenehanju pogodbe in zavarovanjih) clauses or representations and warranties (zagotovila in jamstva). It is also about understanding the consequences of commercial contracts on your daily operations and ensuring that they minimise exposure of your business but still enable you to successfully compete on the increasingly challenging global markets.

CMS series: At centre stage
Our video/podcast series “At centre stage” presents themed content dedicated to professionals, legal advisors operating in a selected sector, and all stakeholders who need to understand the forces driving that sector – especially emerging sectors. In the fast-changing economy the best way to understand where companies are headed is to talk with the companies themselves. We will reveal the obstacles they face, how they envisage the future of their industry, and how they avoid any legal traps they might encounter while pursuing their business goals. So, from start-ups to big market players, we put companies “at centre stage” – and spice up the mix by having a CMS legal professional join them for a half-hour moderated discussion. We will dig deep into the specifics of all future-facing sectors.
